Answer :
Explanation :
Parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance and to help the reader comprehend what is being written.. This can happen at the word, phrase, or clause level. The usual way to join parallel structures is with the use of coordinating conjunctions such as "and" or "or."

Answer : 3. "O"
Explanation :
Answer: C) O Explanation: Given series is A F Z U G L T _ Starts with A A + 5 letters = F go to end of alphabet= Z Z - 5 letters = U from F go one more to G + 5 letters = L from U go one back to U, T - 5 letters = O Second Method :: Change the letters to their corresponding number. A=1 B=2 C=3 ... Z=26 A F Z U G L T _ 1 6 26 21 7 12 20 ? Look at the pattern: the 1st and 3rd numbers = 27, 1+26 the 2nd and 4th numbers = 27, 6+21 the 5th and 7th numbers = 27, so the 6 and 8th would also equal 27. 27 - 12 = 15, so the letter is O.

Answer : 2. "60 degrees"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 60 degrees Explanation: Given the angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio of 2:4:7:5Let the angles of a quadrilateral are 2x, 4x, 7x, 5xBut we know that sum of the angles = 360 degrees.=> 2x + 4x + 7x + 5x = 360=> x = 20Therfore, the smallest angle of the quadrilateral = 2x = 2x20 = 40 degrees.One of the angle of the triangle = 2 x 40 = 80 degreesThe other angle is 180 - (40 + 80) = 60 degrees. Hence the second largest angle of the triangle is 60 degrees.
